Great new Vietnamese restaurant close to home. Wonderful place to find great food. This place is under great ownership! Service is friendly. I will come back to try the other things on their menu.

Never come here for foods for any reason. It's a total rip-off. The portion of the food is not equivalent to the price they charged. The quality of the food is nearly terrible. The ladies who served customers pretended to be friendly and welcoming as soon as we got in but later when we asked to refill water, they seemed not happy and it showed on their face. I ordered fresh orange juice but guess what, it's filled at least 3/4 of ice cubes so I asked for a glass of cold water because of too much MSG, and she looked at like "What's the heck?" and it took at least 10 minutes. We don't recommend this place to anyone.

Don't ever come to this hellhole!!! The food taste lịke shit. Their cháo nghiêu is nothing but white porridge and a few clams with shell in it.

Ah, Chào Nêu, the restaurant that answers the eternal question: "How can one ruin something as simple as porridge?" When you think of porridge, you might conjure images of hearty bowls, comforting and warm. Chào Nêu, however, manages to turn this culinary cornerstone into a dire affair, with portions that can only be described as a sample-size mockery of what porridge should be.Let's talk about service--oh, the service! If they were handing out awards for atrocious customer service, Chào Nêu would take home the gold, silver, and bronze. I wouldn't even rate the service one star; it's more like a black hole that sucks away any semblance of hospitality. The ambiance of neglect is the only thing abundant in this establishment.Now, for the sauce--or lack thereof. You'll search in vain for fresh chilis or sambal sauce here, folks. It's as if they're on a mission to make bland food even blander, a feat I didn't think was possible until I dined here. The absence of essential condiments makes the experience painfully incomplete, like a puzzle missing its corner pieces.Oh, the salad. The mere word "salad" implies a medley of crisp, fresh vegetables, perhaps a tantalizing dressing to pull it all together. Not here. The salad is so unremarkable it makes cardboard seem like a delicacy. It's not just bad; it's a food crime against humanity.But wait, is there anything good here? The short and simple answer is: no. Eating at Chào Nêu is like volunteering to sit through a never-ending seminar on the finer points of watching paint dry. There's not a shred of culinary excitement to be had, making the experience utterly boring and entirely forgettable.In summary, if you're looking to be underwhelmed on multiple fronts--from food to service to ambiance--then Chào Nêu should be your go-to disappointment depot. Just don't say I didn't warn you.

The debate I have every week is should I stick to my reliable eateries or try a new place. Well it's time to take one for the team again. This place used to be Bun Bo Hue Công Lý and now offers a numbers of Vietnamese dishes. When you look at the menu with so many dishes you can't help but wonder if any of them is their specialties. The waitress suggested we tried cơm niêu, cá kho niêu and gỏi gà lòng trứng non. I also ordered cháo lòng and ca tím nướng. The low down: Cơm niêu (and all the niêu dishes come in metal niêu not clay pots) does give you the crispy rice in the bottom of the pot so that's a plus. Ca kho tasted a little weird and I think that's from the popular Vietnamese hot sauce (they tend to put that in a lot of dishes in Vietnam). I didn't taste the caramelized goodness of fish sauce,sugar and pepper. When it comes to cá kho tộ Thành Ðô or Quán Hương can take this place to school. Gỏi gà (which the waitress strongly recommended) was too sour. I might be wrong but this is the taste of miền trung VN cuisine. Southern Vietnamese dishes usually have the sweetness to balance the sourness. When I asked for some dipping sauce the owner brought me lime,salt and black pepper sauce. Basically it was white onions,chicken innards, rau răm plus the dressing made of salt,pepper and lime. Needless to say that was not what I expected. The grill eggplant was decent but the smoke flavor from the gas grill (not charcoal) was overwhelming. The cháo lòng was ok and you can find better nearby. I don't want to give any business especially the new one less than 5 stars but this place doesn't deserve that excellent rating. I will give this place another try and I sincerely hope they will improve I order to do well because around here good enough is not good enough.

Service is very slow. 30 minutes waiting for food is unacceptable. The duck meat was old looking and hard to chew on. This will be the last time coming here.

New restaurant, porridge is okay. Service is friendly. Lots of foods to choose. Ambiance is standard of Vietnamese cozy restaurant, not so fancy but a good place to hang out

The women - owner is friendly. But this is not a good restaurant for my family. 1- Cháo vịt - not have ginger fish sauce2- Gỏi taste very sour. 3- important: Not clean. Dishes are dirty. Togo contain and lids are dirty too. One time and never come back.

Love the food here. Lots of food to choose from. Been here a few times and haven't been disappointed yet. My favorite dish is the banh cuon chien bo luc lac. Never seen this dish and any other restaurant, and man is it good. Make sure you ask to have the banh cuon extra crispy. Would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
The food was very good. Taste wise it is up there with some of the best Vietnamese restaurants I’ve ever eaten around here. The service is very good too, everyone working here is very kind. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is also very welcoming and relaxing. The wait for the food is a bit longer than most other places but I didn’t mind at all because of the amazing end product that I got at the end of that wait.
